If you've been into a Missouri or Illinois Target store over the past few months, you've no doubt seen many new items that are now locked up behind glass cases. New efforts are apparently working to help greatly reduce theft in their stores.
There were some very dire statements in a new update from Big Lots about what the rest of the year will be like for the retail chain. Reports say there are plans to close 40 stores and the question now is how many of the 29 current Illinois locations will be affected.
